SeaWater, premixed water at LFS?

I'd make your own, that way its you that crashes your tank and not some LFS idiot

 

Could be, if its premixed with rodi water I would think it would have nothing but salt and water but if its "purified" seawater it should be bio loaded. My LFS claims its seawater comes from a marine aqua center so its live.

 

not quite true my friend. sorry

 

Im wrong a lot lol. What would be more accurate?

 

Water does not hold enough nutrifying bacteria to contribute anything of benefit to the tank. If they are using "live water" as a promotional promise or to making it more appealing than it's just a gimmick.

 

what she said, my friend, its a gimmick to make cash

 

I was at a lfs about a month ago and there was a guy buying a new 150g as his first tank. The salesman said he wouldn't have a cycle because they had cycled water.

 

He did talk it up a bit but also told me I would still need to do a standard cycle. I paid. 75/gal, am I being taken?

 

bs!!

 

I guess they will say anything to make a sale right?
